Cheryl Pidgeon, the recently appointed Midlands TUC Regional Secretary, has visited the new Learning Bus which has been developed in partnership between Unite the Union, the Rail Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) and Stagecoach. The bus, based in Chesterfield, will visit up to six depots across the north midlands delivering opportunities for learning to all staff employed by Stagecoach via the wireless computer training facilities.
Cheryl Pidgeon said, “Learning is a passion of mine and I am delighted to see this partnership between Unite, the RMT and Stagecoach come to fruition in such an innovative way. Continuing education is vital for people to reach their full potential – whether they are looking for job progression or to satisfy their craving for knowledge. I look forward to being invited back at future presentation events and wish this project and those who will benefit from it the very best of luck”.
The Learning Bus is supported by a group of Union Learning Representatives who help individuals access the new opportunities to study. “The Learning rep role is central to ensuring the success of the project,” said Ms Pidgeon, “the energy and enthusiasm they bring to their role will help keep their colleagues motivated so they get the best out of their studies.”
